First let's talk about its mascot, La'ceb, shaped like a walking headscarf, is an avatar (化身)with no fixed shape. This Arabic word means a highly skilled player. The mascot wears a rope and is soft, whose body can make various and dificult movements at will-it gives fans full imagination. The design of the mascot is very novel and this playful image is loved by many fans. Its facial expression is full of determination with an inspiraional, upward and positive atude, just like a strong-willed athlete who never gets discouraged in the face of dfficulties.

Considering the high temperature of about 50 degrees in Qatar in summer will affect the athletes' competitive status, this World Cup is the first time to be held in the northem hemisphere in winter. To sccesstully hold this World Cup, Qatar has invested heavily in the construction of venues and supporting transportation, communication, accommodation, even with over 1,000 luxurious Bedouin-style tents in the desert, etc. Service failities, with a total investment of 220bn US dollars, make it the most expensive World Cup game at present.

The opening game and the final match will be held in the same stadium-Lusail Stadium.Moreover, thanks to Qatar's efficient public transportation, football fans will need just under one hour of traveling time between stadiums. So if you want to, you can watch more than two games in one day and experience the World Cup like never before.

Online education has grown fast over the past ten years. The explosion of technology has made teaching outside the traditional classroom possible for teachers and has provided learmers with easy access to course materials. Its attractiveness,bencfits, and challengcs are addressed.

In April,2005,I was approached by a student who was interested in our doctoral program. However, the first question out of her mouth was,“Do you offer any online courses?"Later that day, as I was reading the conference program guide trying for interesting presentations, I noticed many workshops on web-based learning and online education. I later attended two of those workshops and met several professors from dffent universitics who had either taught online courses for quite some time or who were discovering the best practice for lteaching online. The experiences helped me realize at least to some extent the degree of growth in online education.

My responsibilities for the term included gaining more understanding of online education. Consequently, I made several attempts to enrich my knowledge of distance learning and online teaching. I consulted with my colleagues who were teaching online courses. This helped me recognize the importance of getting materials prepared even before the start of a term. 1 also learmed that online courses may consume more time than regular elassroom teaching. And I attended several workshops regarding online education and established a network with those who were involved in online programs at other universities. I will consider thesc pcople as my consultants as I begin to design my own online course. Also, I conducted a brief survey wih 15 students and two faculty members who had taken or taught an online course before to understand their experience. Eventually I completed a literature review which gave me the foundation and the background of understanding the need for online education.

28. What benefits the development of online education?

A. Teachers' good teaching ability.          B. Lack of traditional classrooms.

C. Learners' access to course materials.       D. The rapid advance of economy.

29. Why did the author take a student for example?

B. To predict the future of the teaching career.

C. To show students' love for the doctoral program.

D. To persuade learmers of traditional education.

30. What caused the author to know more about online education?

A. The requirement of research.       B. The professional responsibilities.

C. The appetite for knowledge.     D. The colleagues' encouragement.

31. What is the author's atitude to online education?

A. Carefree.           B. Doubtful.           C. Supportive.       D. Unwilling.

D

China has set new nules limiting the amount of time children can play online games.' The rules limit children to just three hours of online game playing a weck. That is one hour between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. on Fiday, Sarurday and Sunday most wecks.

Li Zhanguo has two children aged 4 and 8. Even though they do not have smart phones, they enjoy playing online games. Like many other parents, Li is happy with new govermment rules. But experts say it is unclear if such policics can help prevent addiction to online games. Children might just get addicted t0 social media instend, In the end, experts say, parents should be the ones to set limits and support good practices.

There has been a growing concern in China about gaming addiction mong children. Govermment reports in 2018 found that about one in 10 Chinese children were addicted to the Internet. The new rules arc part of an effort to prevent young people from spending too much time on unhealthy entertainment. That includes what officials call the“irrational fan culture".

Under the new rules, the responsibility for making sure children play only three hours a day as largely on Chinese gaming companics like NetEase and Teneent. Companies have set up real-name registration systerms to prevent young users from going past game time limits. They have used facial recognition technology to check their identities. And they have also set up a program that permits pcople to report what is against the law. It is unclear what punishments gaming companics may face if they do not carry out the policies. And even if such policies are performed, it is also unclear whether they can prevent online addiction.

A specialist treating interet addiction expects about 20 percent of children will find ways to break the rules by borrowing accounts of their older relatives and find a way around facial recognition. In his opinion, short-video apps such as Douyin and TikTok are also very popular in China. They are not under the same restrictions as games.

32. When can children play games according to the new rules?

A. Between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m on Friday.      B. Between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m on Tuesday.

C. Between 10 p.m.and 11 p.m. on Saturday.  D. Between 10 p.m. and I1 p.m. on Thursday.

33. According to experts,

A. the new rules can stop children's addiction to social media

B. companies are more responsible for kids' obeying the nules

C. the new rules will help prevent children playing online games

D. parents play a greater part in limiting the time of online games

34. What will children probably do to battle with the new rules?

A. Design an advanced program.           B. Use facial recognition systems.

C. Set up real-name registration systems.     D. Borrow accounts of their older relatives.

35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A. Rules Limiting Short-video Apps.      B. Rules Limiting Video Game Time.

C. Rules Banning Irrational Fan Culture.  D. Rules Breaking Addition to Social Media.

Grandpa's Old Chair

It was the annual cleaning day for the family. John and his mom were busy cleaning the house. They cleaned upstairs, downstairs, inside and outside until everything was spotless. Exhausted, they sank into the couch. Just then, John's mom noticed an old chair that was faded and wom. That chair was for John's grandpa, who had lived with them since John's grandma had died. .

“John, come and help me." John's mom sprang to her feet.“We'll take the chair to the curb (路边). The garbage truck is picking up on our block tomorrow."

As they attempted to move the chair, John's grandpa made his way through the door. Seeing what was happening, he quickly tried to stop them.“No!" he protested.“You can't take my chair."

“But it's so ol..." John's mom argued.“We'll buy you a new one.'

“No," he persisted, trying to push his chair back into place.

John's mom finally let go of the chair and left the room. With a sigh of relief, the old man sank into his chair and closed his eyes.

“Grandpa, why won't you let us get rid of the chair?" John asked.

“You don't understand, John." His grandpa shook his head and said,“I sat in this chair with your grandma right here when I asked her to marry me. And I sat in this chair the night your father

was borm. Many years later," Grandpa's voice broke,“I sat in this chair when the doctor called and

told me that your grandma was ill. I was lost without her, but the chair gave me comfort and warmth." The old man's sadness seemed to grow as he recalled that fateful day.

“I understand now." John looked at his grandpa and said,“This is not just any old chair. It is

more like a friend."

“Yes," he nodded. "We' ve gone through a lot together."

However, that night, when John and his grandpa were asleep, John's mom and dad carried the chair outside. It was a starless night. Snow fell silently from the black sky and covered Grandpa's

chair in a blanket of white.
